Please Help Japan

Dear Friends,
As you already know, Japan was hit by the largest earthquake ever recorded on Friday, March 11th. The huge quake and devastating tsunami have left overwhelming damage to the country, and we are still facing terrifying conditions.
I have received messages from all over the world, and I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere appreciation for your concern. This is the time for us to think about what we can really do. I know I am not in a place to ask, yet one thing we can do for the people in the afflicted area is to donate to their relief and recovery. There are babies in need of milk, people who have lost their families and houses.
Here are links to the donation for the relief and recovery of the Japanese earthquake and Pacific tsunami afflicted region:
Japan Red Cross Society
American Red Cross
We truly appreciate your support, even very small support from your pocket, for the relief and recovery of my country.
